Prayer of Humility

Monday, August 31, 2015
Matthew 6:9-15 NIV

9 "This, then, is how you should pray: " 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.' 14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

OBSERVATION QUESTIONS
1) After His disciples asked Him to teach them to pray, what did our Lord teach them? (v.9-13)
2) What did Jesus tell His disciples about forgiving others who sin against them? (v.14)
3) What does Jesus teach about those who do not forgive the sins of others? (v.15)

APPLICATION QUESTIONS
4) Are you quick to forgive others that offend you? If not, why not?

LIFE LESSONS
5) Since our Lord forgave us our sins, while we were still sinners, He expects us to treat our brothers and sisters in Christ the same way.
